Reborn in the Three Kingdoms

Just as the Beibei cavalry was about to launch the final charge, the "meteor shower" suddenly appeared again, and then they had close contact with Cao Jun's cavalry. In the chaos of horses neighing and shouting, Cao Jun's cavalry was knocked down in a large area, but Zheng Beijun's cavalry A few people were also killed by stones. After all, the distance between the two armies is not very far, and there is no way to grasp the accuracy of long-range attacks in this era.

It turned out that Tian Feng ordered the catapult troops to attack again to cover the attacking cavalry troops.When Zhang Fei led the cavalry to attack, Tian Feng was worried that the catapult troops would accidentally injure his own people, so he ordered the catapult troops to temporarily stop attacking. , In this way, Zhang Fei and the remaining [-] northern cavalry may be saved.

Cao Jun obviously did not expect that the catapult troops of the Zhengbei Army would launch an attack at this time, and there was a commotion immediately.Some cavalry wanted to retreat, but the generals at all levels were roaring at the top of their lungs, trying to stabilize the morale of the troops.

This is definitely an opportunity for Zhang Fei.At this moment, the gate of Huguan City suddenly opened, and Tian Feng shouted from the top of the gate: "General! Enter the city quickly!" [

Seeing this, Zhang Fei quickly ordered: "Brothers! Let's teach Cao Jun another day! Go back to the pass!".After receiving this order, the expressions of all the cavalry could not help but relax a little. Although they were not afraid of dying in battle, they were happy to be able to survive.

The two thousand cavalry immediately turned their horses and ran towards the closed door, while Zhang Fei fell at the back and was in charge of breaking the rear.

Cao Cao, who was in the middle army behind, saw this situation, and immediately ordered in a hurry: "Beat the drum to send the order! Urge the cavalry to charge, don't be afraid of the battle and delay!"

Immediately, the drums in Cao Junzhong suddenly changed their rhythm and rang.The general who led the cavalry unit couldn't help changing his expression when he heard the sound of the battle drum, and then shouted, "All the soldiers of the army will charge with me immediately!" Rushing forward, almost at the same time, cavalry cavalry of Cao Jun also hurriedly adjusted their horses in the chaos, and followed closely behind the general.Cao Jun was a little flustered. It turned out that the war drum that Cao Jun was beating at this time was famously called the "juezhen drum".

At this moment, Cao Jun is only less than 30 meters away from the Beibei Army, which is very dangerous.

Tian Feng, who was standing on the city gate tower, couldn't help frowning, looking very anxious.Immediately, he shouted an order: "Order the infantry with long halberds to prepare at the gate of the city! To meet the enemy cavalry! Order the warriors with horizontal swords to go up to the wall immediately and prepare for the battle! Order the crossbowmen to bring me the crossbow carts!"

Following Tian Feng's order, the Zhengbei Army immediately took action.

Outside the city, Cao Jun's cavalry maintained a distance of 30 meters from the conscripted Northern Cavalry and chased behind.If such a distance has been maintained, there is no way for Cao Jun to arrive in time, but the actual situation will not be the case.

A moment later, when the Zhengbei cavalry rushed to the gate of the city, their speed suddenly dropped.It turned out that the width of the city gate was limited, and it was impossible for the cavalry to maintain their speed and rush in. They had to slow down first.

Although the cavalry of the Northern Army had slowed down, it only took a moment for them all to enter Huguan.However, this moment was enough for Cao Jun's cavalry to catch up.

Zhang Fei led hundreds of cavalry to the rear immediately, and they were preparing to break the rear.

Cao Jun was getting closer and closer. When the distance was only a dozen meters away, Zhang Fei, who was immediately under the city, suddenly heard Tian Feng's loud voice behind him: "Hit! Hit me hard!"

Immediately, Zhang Fei saw the rain of stones whistling and falling, and at the same time, the arrows that were dense like locusts flew over his head with a piercing scream, and sank into Cao Jun's cavalry.The density of this rain of arrows is astonishingly high. If the arrows were released by archers, it would take at least tens of thousands of archers to achieve such an effect. The North Army does not have so many archers. The reason why they can launch such an attack depends entirely on Rely on a new weapon that does not exist in this era, the ballista.

The ballista is a kind of equipment that uses a machine spring as the launching power. It looks like a belt

A large wooden box with hundreds of round holes can fire more than a hundred sharp arrows at a time, which is extremely powerful. However, the shortcoming of this kind of ballista is also obvious, that is, it is relatively bulky, and the interval between two rounds of shooting is relatively long.

Under this breathless intensive attack, Cao Jun's cavalry suddenly turned on their backs, and the galloping long snake formation was cut into two sections.The large force of Cao Jun's cavalry was blocked behind, only a few dozen people still roared towards Zhang Fei, and two of Cao Jun's cavalry led the generals.

Seeing this, Zhang Fei immediately led hundreds of horses to meet him without the slightest hesitation.

At the same time, the main force of Cao's army did not stop advancing, and continued to charge forward, but the rain of arrows released by the ballista not only caused heavy casualties to them, but also slowed down their progress.

Zhang Fei waved the Zhangba Snake Spear and roared again and again, and plunged into Cao's army first. He saw a sharp attack from the spear, and seven or eight cavalrymen of Cao's army were picked off their horses.At the same time, two generals of Cao Jun swung their knives and rushed towards Zhang Fei.The three immediately fought together. [

After seven or eight rounds, Zhang Fei forced the Cao general on the left back, and then quickly changed the direction of the spear in his hand, poking at the Cao general on the right with lightning speed.

Cao Jiang couldn't react in time, and his chest was pierced on the spot and he was kicked off the horse.

Seeing this, the other General Cao couldn't help being terrified, and even wanted to run away.But before he ran far, he was shot by Zhang Fei with an arrow.

At the same time, dozens of Cao Jun cavalry who followed the two Cao generals were almost wiped out by the Zhenbei Iron Cavalry, and the few remaining lucky ones who escaped with their lives were fleeing at this time.

At this moment, Tian Feng shouted from the city gate: "General! Enter the city quickly!"

Zhang Fei turned his head and found that all the troops had entered the city.So he raised his voice and said, "Let's go back!"

Immediately, Zhang Fei led hundreds of cavalry who were broken into Huguan.Until now, Tian Feng was slightly relieved.

At the same time, Cao Jun's main cavalry finally broke through the blockade after suffering heavy casualties.But when they rushed to the gate of the city, the gate of Huguan was just closed.

Cao Jun's cavalry could not stop the momentum in a short time, and a large group of people couldn't help but huddled together at the gate of the city.

Seeing this scene, Tian Feng couldn't help but his eyes lit up. "Fight the ballista and crossbowmen with all your might!" Tian Feng shouted excitedly.

Immediately, arrows poured down like a storm, and the Cao cavalry at the gate of the city suddenly fell into bad luck!Without any cover, they were knocked down one by one by the rain of arrows.

Cao Jun's cavalry couldn't help becoming confused, and then retreated like a swarm.There were only corpses and scattered horses left at the gate of the city.

Cao Cao's face was livid.He couldn't accept that after paying such a price, he was still escaped by the opponent's general.

Zhang Fei led the cavalry to attack this time, which lasted for a short time, but it was very brutal.Only less than 2000 of the 1 cavalry from the Northern Army returned to Huguan, and the cavalry of the Cao Army paid a price of nearly 1, but almost half of the [-] were killed by long-range weapons such as catapults and ballistas. Killed.

The battle between the two cavalry seemed to take a long time, but in fact it only took a short time.When Zhang Fei retreated into Huguan, Cao Jun's siege pawns were still about forty meters away from the city wall.

At this moment, due to the shooting angle of the catapult, it was no longer possible to attack Cao Jun's siege troops.

The North Army is ready to fight.Most of the ballistas had already been mounted on the top of the city, and the crossbowmen, warriors with horizontal swords, sword shields and halberds were all in place.Looking at the city wall from a distance, I saw a forest of knives and guns.

Tian Feng didn't order the ballista to attack right now, because Cao Jun was using shields to protect the top of his head and the front. Consuming arrows in many places is not worth the candle.

The crossbowmen are already shooting.Under normal circumstances, the archers of the siege side should shoot back at this time, but Cao Jun's siege troops did not do so at this moment.

.The reason is very simple, they have already seen the power of the Northern Army's ballista, how dare they withdraw their shields and shoot back with arrows!Although they seem to be in a passive position to be beaten now, their casualties will be much smaller.

When Cao Jun advanced to only a dozen meters away from the city wall, Cao Jun's swords and shields suddenly spread out, and then the infantry carrying the ladder roared and rushed towards the city wall, while the soldiers rushing towards the city rushed towards the city gate. ! ~!
